Ok.  We all know that there are a ton of benefits to working out and eating healthy, especially as Father Time starts to kick our ass.  We can't expect to live longer, healthier lives if we're sitting on the couch with a 12-pack and a bag of Doritos by our side.  If we want to really kick some ass on the pickleball court, rock somebody's world in the bedroom, and feel good overall - we're going to need to get serious about our health and fitness.  In this episode, we talk to a true Over 50 Badass, Scott Jagodzinski.

Scott Jagodzinski is the founder of Argent Alpha, a program and community making Men over 50 Harder to Kill.  Scott is also a co-founder and Chariman of Alchemy365, a boutique fitness studio with 8 locations (soon to be 9) in two states.  Prior to joining the health and wellness industry, Scott was CEO at two different companies, leading one of them in an exit to a public company.  Scott currently splits his time between MN and AZ, is happily married to his high school sweetheart and has 3 adult children and one grandson.  

Scott is a Badass Thought Leader and regular contributor to Over 50 Badass.

This week's episode with midlife "OG" Broc Edwards, host of the Midlife Mastery Podcast, dives deep into how to navigate those sometimes shitty (sometimes not) midlife transitions (divorce, job loss, career changes, empty nesting...) we all go through (some of us better than others) and how we can decide to take on new challenges and adventures to really kick some ass and ignite (or re-ignite) that fire in us that maybe just needed a little bit of stoking.  We also chew on the bullshit perception of of midlife and how the advertising industry paints such a fucking false narrative of who we are at midlife - and why the hell are those bathtubs in the middle of damn field (and how did they get there)???

Broc is the host of the Midlife Mastery Podcast and an "OG" in this midlife media space and has a boatload of knowledge and insights into what this midlife thing is all about.  On his podcast (link below) he dives into everything Life After 50, talking to some pretty Badass guests about Fitness, Finance, Relationships, Career, & Impact.  Check it out - you'll be glad you did.
